An Austin bunny

This little bunny will soon be flying
to her new home in Austin, Texas.
I'm not sure how she'll like the blazing hot summers
that they get there.
After all she was born here in Ontario where
our summers are nowhere as hot.
And she did enjoy hanging out and smelling the flowers.

But I'm pretty sure she has dual citizenship and
her new owner will help her explore her wonderful new home.

a little bunny for a little girl

I've been wanting to make this little bunny

for such a long time.

I found the free pattern from 

my favourite yarn site..Ravelry.

Over 600 people have already

made this adorable creature

so, as usual, I'm late to the party.

Here she is waiting to get her act together.

I think I might have to make another one.

Year of the Hare

I haven't been able to start 

making a bunny to celebrate 

the Chinese Year of the Hare.

I promised myself that I could

only work on 2 projects at a time.

Since the New Year has officially started

  I'll post my bunny projects

that I've made in the past for now.

For a long time I've had an image of a bunny
in my head that I've wanted to make .
It has floppy ears, arms and legs,
so that a little girl could easily grab it
and carry it around.

I came across a pattern very close to it,
this is the result.


It's not exactly the same as the bunny
in my head but he's pretty close.
When I completely finished him I
couldn't figure out why I wasn't happy with him.

That's when I realized the reason.
It was because my imaginary
bunny was a girl and although I
tried, there was no way this guy
wanted to be transformed into a girl.
He did, however, keep his wee granny
square scarf in pink and purple.

Maybe someday I'll make
a female version but for now
he'll do.
The pattern came from a book
called Vintage Crochet by Susan Cropper.
The errata, which includes
the entire pattern
is here.
